A piece of tidy-up work, the Planning Scheme Amendment
C86 is another step closer to adoption.
Councilors voted at the March council meeting to seek
authorisation from the Planning Minister to prepare and
exhibit the amendment – and affected landowners will be
notified thanks to an additional condition proposed by West
Ward Councillor Tom Sullivan.
The amendment is set to correct a number of errors and
anomalies that have been identified in the planning scheme.
“Council officers occasionally receive queries from public
authorities and private parties regarding errors and
anomalies in the Moorabool Planning Scheme,” read a report
tabled at the meeting.
“Most of these are for fairly minor matters. In such cases,

During the consultation, teams will hand

following benefits and disadvantages of
electrification of the rail line:
Pros:
- More frequent service is possible.
- Triples the carrying capacity of VLine
trains (444 seats to 1500 people per
train).
- Bacchus Marsh can become a transport
interchange with electric and diesel
services.
- Will lead to duplication of full track and
quadruplication to Melton eventually.
- Stabling of trains at Kerrs Road,
Maddingley will enable Bacchus Marsh
to be at the start of the line for morning
services and resolve stabling issues in
Melton.
- Residents will have carriage choice and
more flexible destinations
- Adequate land for stabling at Kerrs Road,
Maddingley.
